  • The Place of Ethics in Aristotle's Philosophy
    Offprint from OXFORDSTUDIES INANCIENT PHILOSOPHY EDITOR:BRADINWOOD VOLUMEXL Essays in Memory of Michael Frede JAMESALLEN EYJÓLFURKJALAREMILSSON WOLFGANG-RAINERMANN BENJAMINMORISON 3 THEPLACEOFETHICSIN ARISTOTLE’SPHILOSOPHY GEORGEKARAMANOLIS . The issue D the wealth of studies on Aristotle’s ethics, there has been almost nothing, as far as I know, dedicated to considering the place that ethics occupies in Aristotle’s philosophy. This issue does not seem to be interesting to modern students of Aristotle. There was, however, a debate and indeed a controversy about this issue in late antiquity, as I shall show in this paper. There are two questions in- volved here, which are interrelated, and the debate was about both of them. The first concerns the order in which ethics or practical philosophy, more generally, must be studied by the student of Aris- totle’s philosophy. The second concerns the relative significance of this part of philosophy within the framework of Aristotle’s philoso- phical work. Both questions arise from remarks that Aristotle himself makes. The second in particular, some might argue, is addressed by Aris- totle in various parts of his work. In Metaphysics Ε –, for instance, he famously discusses the relative value of theoretical, practical, and productive sciences. Aristotle there argues explicitly that the the- oretical sciences are preferable (hairetōterai) to all others, practical © George Karamanolis It is a pleasure to offer this contribution in honour of Michael Frede, who taught me so much. Drafts of this paper were presented at Princeton, Oxford, and the Department of Theory and Philosophy of Science, University of Athens. I have benefited from the comments of all these audiences.

  • Aspasian Infidelities. on Aspasius' Philosophical Background (EN I)
    apeiron 2016; 49(2): 229–259 António Pedro Mesquita* Aspasian Infidelities. On Aspasius’ Philosophical Background (EN I) DOI 10.1515/apeiron-2015-0028 Abstract: The discussion on Aspasius’ philosophical background has benefited in recent years from a wide consensus. According to this consensus, Aspasius should be regarded as a Peripatetic, or even as an “orthodox Peripatetic” (Barnes’ phrase). It is true that Aspasius’ commentary is generally in tune with Aristotle. It is true that he shows an extensive knowledge of Aristotelian research pertinent for the discussions and that he uses Aristotelian concepts, principles, and doctrines with ease as if they were his own, thus denoting an old assimila- tion of those materials and a long accommodation to them. In a word, it is true that Aspasius is an Aristotelian. He is, however, as I will try to show in this paper, an Aristotelian strongly influenced by Stoicism. I will do so by selecting those points from Aspasius’ commentary on book I of the Nicomachean Ethics where the Stoic influence is most flagrantly evident, namely in his interpretation of art (τέχνη), his conception of continence and incontinence and, especially, his interpretation of the relation between happiness, virtue, and external goods in Aristotle. Keywords: Aspasius, Aristotelianism, Stoicism, happiness, virtue, external goods The Consensus The discussion on Aspasius’ philosophical background has benefited in recent years from a wide consensus. A good example of this consensus is the position Barnes sustains on the matter in his excellent “Introduction to Aspasius”, where he states the following1: Next, Aspasius’ philosophical position. Galen calls him a Peripatetic, and it is plain that his pupil taught Galen Peripatetic philosophy.

  • Aristotelianism in the First Century BC
    CHAPTER 5 Aristotelianism in the First Century BC Andrea Falcon 1 A New Generation of Peripatetic Philosophers The division of the Peripatetic tradition into a Hellenistic and a post- Hellenistic period is not a modern invention. It is already accepted in antiquity. Aspasius speaks of an old and a new generation of Peripatetic philosophers. Among the philosophers who belong to the new generation, he singles out Andronicus of Rhodes and Boethus of Sidon.1 Strabo adopts a similar division. He too distinguishes between the older Peripatetics, who came immediately after Theophrastus, and their successors.2 He collectively describes the latter as better able to do philosophy in the manner of Aristotle (φιλοσοφεῖν καὶ ἀριστοτελίζειν). It remains unclear what Strabo means by doing philosophy in the manner of Aristotle.3 But he certainly thinks that the philosophers who belong to the new generation, and not those who belong to the old one, deserve the title of true Aristotelians. For Strabo, the event separating the old from the new Peripatos is the rediscovery and publication of Aristotle’s writings. We may want to resist Strabo’s negative characterization of the earlier Peripatetics. For Strabo, they were not able to engage in philosophy in any seri- ous way but were content to declaim general theses.4 This may be an unfair judgment, ultimately based on the anachronistic assumption that any serious philosophy requires engagement with an authoritative text.5 Still, the empha- sis that Strabo places on the rediscovery of Aristotle’s writings suggests that the latter were at the center of the critical engagement with Aristotle in the 1 Aspasius, On Aristotle’s Ethics 44.20–45.16.

Shew for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Philosophy to be taken September 2008 Title: THE PHENOMENON OF CHANCE IN ANCIENT GREEK THOUGHT Approved: Dr. Peter Warnek This dissertation engages three facets of Greek philosophy: 1) the phenomenon of tyche (chance, fortune, happening, or luck) in Aristotle's Physics, Nicomachean Ethics, and Poetics; 2) how tyche infonns Socrates' own philosophical practice in the Platonic dialogues; and 3) how engaging tyche in these Greek texts challenges established interpretations of Greek thought in contemporary scholarship and discussion. I argue that the complex status of tyche in Aristotle's texts, when combined with its appearance in the Platonic dialogues and the framework of Greek myth and poetry (poiesis), underscores the seriousness with which the Greeks consider the role of chance in human life.

  • 1 INSTRUMENTS and IMPEDIMENTS Α Senecan
    vendredi 25 mars 14h-16h Comments welcome: [email protected] 1 Maison de la Recherche D116 INSTRUMENTS AND IMPEDIMENTS Α Senecan-Aristotelian debate on the activation of the virtues My starting point is a notoriously ambiguous chapter in Aristotle. It’s well known that in Nicomachean Ethics 1.10, Aristotle rejects the view that virtuous activity is sufficient all by itself for happiness. Instead he asserts that while eudaimonia does consist in a life of virtuous activity, certain external goods, things like health, wealth, and freedom from pain, are also necessary in some sense. But in what sense? The text leaves room for interpretation: whether Aristotle means that such things are components of the best human life, such that happiness is incomplete without them, or whether they are instrumentally necessary for the best life – what we need to use to perform virtuous activities in the best way; and there are further questions about each of these possibilities. In this paper I am not seeking to provide an answer to what Aristotle meant. My interest is rather in the interpretive space defined by that ambiguity, and in what happened next in ancient philosophy within that interpretive space. I explore a series of texts in which the so- called Peripatetic philosophers, responding to Aristotle, give their accounts of the relation between happiness and external goods – and the Stoics, represented by Seneca, give their version, responding to the Peripatetics. The star player is what I call the activation argument. Some Peripatetics hold, picking up on certain things in Aristotle, that virtue is not sufficient for happiness because virtue can’t be activated—can’t give rise to any virtuous activities—without having some external goods.

  • Him the Aristotle Referred to As Alexander's Teacher in Several Texts and Renders the Emendation of This Name to Aristocles Un­ Necessary
    I2 INTRODUCTION him the Aristotle referred to as Alexander's teacher in several texts and renders the emendation of this name to Aristocles un­ necessary. If this is correct his philosophical views are represented by a passage of the de intellectu dealing with the doctrine of "the external intellect" (voui; 6upa.6e:v).54 II. THE ALEXANDRIAN CORPUS 55 The purpose of this description of the Peripatetic school in the generation before Alexander has been to place his own contribution in perspective. It is clear now that a strong tradition of scholarly exegesis was established before him, and that he was linked to it through his teachers Herminus and Sosigines. There are also some indications of a less rigorous tradition represented by Alexan­ der of Damascus and Aristocles of Messenia in which philosophical eclecticism was combined with an affiliation to the culture of the Second Sophistic. Alexander's contribution was to be entirely the continuation of the former tradition 56 and its elevation to new heights, primarily through the composition of a series of com­ mentaries on Aristotelian works. The Commentaries The precise form of pre-Alexandrian philosophical commentaries is not known to us,57 the only extant example being the somewhat 54 Mant. no. 4-n2. 5 Bruns; cf. n. 44. 66 See Pt. II of the bibliography for additional literature on the works and subjects discussed in this section. 69 This is another reason, quite apart from those adduced by Moraux, why Alexander might not have been the pupil of Aristocles of Messenia. Nothing however is known of the contribution of Aristotle of Mitylene to the specifically scholarly tradition, and therefore his influence on Alexander as against that of the known scholars, Herminus and Sosigines, might have been slight.

Abstract Philo of Alexandria forged his theory of the soul and its passions while expositing the meaning of Torah. Though writing as a Jewish teacher and disciple of Moses, his biblical reflections display a strong orientation toward Middle-Platonic philosophy. On the topic of the soul and its passions, however, Philo also exhibits significant Stoic influence. The introduction notes Philo’s apparent incompatible use of both the complex Platonic and the monistic Stoic psychological models. After assessing the degree to which Philo understood 'passion' to be a type of Stoic impulse or opinion (chapter one), chapter two demonstrates that Philo consistently drew upon the Stoics’ depiction of all passions as irrational, excessive, and unnatural.
